Check-out
Front desk settles, transfers, or Quick Posts the folio, handles linked reservations, then checks out.
Front desk staff check out hotel reservations on departure day. Settle a positive balance first (or use Quick Post when eligible). Guest App one-tap check-out: Express hotel check-out.
Entry: Console → Room reservations → reservation details → Check Out.
Prerequisites
- Reservation is in-house and due out.
- If folio balance is greater than 0, settle first (or meet Quick Post rules) before check-out; if balance is less than 0, check out directly or transfer then check out.
- Suspected linked reservations must be confirmed / cleared, or check Ignore in the dialog.
- Quick Post only when: the rate plan has Quick Post enabled; or the company has Auto invoice on and Payer is Company.
Steps
Quick Post eligible
Either:
- The rate plan has Quick Post enabled.
- The reservation has a company with Auto invoice on and Payer = Company.
In the check-out dialog, check Quick Post.
- Balance after posting still allows check-out; settle later.
- Amount due from guest blocks check-out — settle the guest portion first.
- Company Quick Post emails the bill PDF to the company inbox.
The dialog shows the checkbox when balance is greater than 0 and Quick Post is allowed; red text is Balance after posting or Amount due from guest.
Amount due from guest appears when posting covers room only but the guest has other self-pay charges.
Without Auto invoice or with payer not Company, company Quick Post and auto invoice are unavailable.
Do not force check-out when Amount due from guest is shown. Settle the self-pay portion first or the folio will not balance.
Not Quick Post eligible
Balance = 0
No extra step.
Balance greater than 0 (guest unpaid)
Cannot check out until settled:
- Manual settle: after payment, create a payment on the folio.
- Complete preauth: if preauth was taken at check-in, complete it to settle.
Balance less than 0 (refund due)
Does not block check-out.
- Check out directly if refund is pending and no transfer is needed.
- Transfer: check Transfer and pick the target reservation.
Negative balance shows refund amount and optional transfer target.
Linked reservations
If a suspected link exists, the No suspected linked reservation gate fails. Confirm in Linked reservations on the detail page, or check Ignore to pass.
Complete check-out
When ready, click Confirm on the check-out dialog.
Result
- Reservation is checked out.
- With company Quick Post, the bill PDF is emailed; see Bill list on the hotel reservation for sent records.
